i took off my extras after i read rules 4. I know you added that 6 hour rule, can you still post after another person and get credit even if 6 hours hasnt passed?

Yes, as long as i have not checked yet. It is 1 answer per 6 hours (roughly) based on the time of the post. New posts get added first, then I go in order for the older posts. Of course, there are some answers that were not taken because they are either wrong completely or there isn't enough evidence for me to accept it without further information. For example, wolfsaiga's post. If he can provide the proof, I'll accept the one I'm not sure about. On a similar note, someone else could potentially provide proof and claim it if I haven't put a reserved notice in the slot. (If i put a reserved note on the slot, that means I'm planning to give it to them if they (or someone else) can provide proof. If I did not, then that means it is up for grabs).

This is a 'contest' and all but that doesn't mean helping each other is against the rules ;P . Heck, half the time I enter game tournaments I am in purely to help other people win (or if you think about it the other way, lose).

Also, please just edit rather than double post. Makes it easier to go through the list.

I've also noted that nobody is bothering to answer for "rule 8" I'll assume everyone fully expects to have the second and third games then.

Gold T Star, which slot are you trying to put her in?

I'm honestly surprised nobody has taken the more popular ones (as in what they are from is relatively well known) like 25 and 32 and 44.

I think a few have been queued, but none have been actually claimed yet.

I really do hope that you guys are enjoying this though. In all honesty, crunchyroll doesn't have many of these types of contests which is why I wanted to do one even if the prizes are minor. I do plan to host one next month also using this contest to refine the rules and such. Maybe if we are lucky we can get sailorbee to host one of these (probably not but one can always dream ;P )

Updated. Also, as a note, if the post has been edited and isn't on the most recent page, you should actually warn me. Also, I count edited time as post time if it wasn't edited within a few minutes of posting. (If one post says posted a day ago and edited 7 hours ago, I will use the 7 hours for calculation purposes).

If it isn't on the most recent page, make sure you warn me because usually I just use a cached version of the pages to save bandwidth.

Added two more bonuses. These two should be easy. This is because a few of the easy ones were taken pretty early on.

Updated, and I don't think Shura's tattoo is a butterfly nor do i remember it actually transforming. It is more like a portal type from what I remember

Ok, game 1 is going to end about 6-11 pm PST (9pm-2am? EST). Is it PST or PDT right now, I forget, but whatever.

From now until the end, no more restrictions, have at it.

Sent everyone a message though I might have sent extras to some due to a mistake on my part. It seems we have enough people to move onto game 2

How many answers you have will affect the order you go in game 3 as well as what role you have for game 2. (Though it will be indirect as I'll line everyone up in order based on name and number of answers and then use a random generator to figure out who gets what role. I won't be using a standard generator method so it will still be random (lowest numbers and highest numbers have the same likelyhood as a more middle number with this method. (Unlike many standard random number generators that have a tendency towards the middle))

This thread is quite helpful. I get a feel as to what kind of characters they are, might help me decide if im going to watch the anime.

That is good, part of the goal was to make it so that people could learn about anime series that they normally would not watch, games they normally would not play, etc. Simply because they normally would never have heard about the media. I had a lot of thoughts in mind when I did the first game.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

The first game's goals were quite varied.

First goal was to make sure everyone that participates knows something about anime.

Second goal was to introduce people to various series: anime, manga, light novels, visual novels (not all VNs are adult only, like KEY makes a lot of all age VNs-I think all of their adult VNs have an all ages version), games, etc. Some of these are great series that many people wouldn't hear about because they are older, less known, or have been licenced but never brought over properly (more popularity can influence the chances of the media being brought over properly).

Third goal of course was to see how people would react to the games and how I would need to adjust the rules.

And of course there were more goals that aren't worth mentioning here.

Second game's goal is to reduce the participants by half. There are some other goals but I shouldn't mention those, at least not right now.

Third game's goal is obviously to reduce the participants down to the number of passes. Currently, the other person has withdrawn their pass (which is why I did not mention their name, in case they changed their mind) so there will only be one pass offered unless someone else offers one.

Of course, I plan to hold another one next month and I plan to give the top non-winner a minor bonus for the next game simply because I had intended for there to be two winners for this one.

I really do hope that everyone has fun regardless of the results.

Finally, if I did not add an answer to the list and did not message you, that means the answer was too much of a stretch for me to accept. Feel free to give me proof otherwise though.

Also, please make a new post, don't edit your old posts. I'm not actively checking the old posts for edits

I won't be telling anyone but the murderer which team they are on (normal or malicious).

This is because if the murderer was on the normal team, they could easily rig the game by killing themselves. Every other special role can end up on either side. (Yes, you could have a corrupt sheriff or even a corrupt bodyguard.

Teams have been set already. If two people want to swap to the opposite team, I may change up the teams a bit but not guaranteed.

I think it would be more fun if nobody else knows what side they are on since it makes it a mystery who will move on to the next game.

That being said, feel free to choose one of these three by the end of the first round:

1) Tell only the murderer:
2) Tell everyone
3) Give everyone a hint via some form of riddle (The difficulty of which will vary from person to person)

I'm voting for 3, but unless more people vote, I'm sticking with 1. My vote counts for 9001 votes, btw. So does everyone else's though.

For the third game, depending on the remaining participants, I might change the game to a game from a light novel series (Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria)
